We had the absolute best time with Captain Josh. Out of the wealth of captains and guided trips in the Destin area, we chose Just Reel based on all of the positive reviews, and they did not disappoint. He knows the area and put us on the fish immediately at each stop, often with four of us catching simultaneously. Not only that, but he is laid back and great with families. He kept our 3 teenagers entertained, off their phones, and begging us to make this a tradition.

Captain Josh was hands down the best Captain!! You won’t be disappointed. He went above and beyond to put us on the fish. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. We started catching fish as soon as the bait hit the water. Thanks again Captain Josh. It was an experience these young men won’t forget. Oh and the 31.6 pound cobia was the icing on the whole trip.

What a great experience we had with Captain Josh on Just Reel! It was a great fishing trip. Captain Josh wanted us to have a good time as much as we did. He explained everything as we went and made sure we caught something. I really can’t say enough about our trip. Our next trip to Destin will include another fishing trip with Captain Josh. Thank you for making our first family fishing trip a great one!

We had an action-packed 5 hour trip with Captain Josh. Josh was super informative and entertaining, put us on fish right away and kept us in high spirits. We caught our limit of Mingos (Vermilion Snapper), and caught and released several Triggerfish and Red Snapper. Josh gave us a recommendation for a nearby hook & cook, so we enjoyed our catch right next to the marina. A complete 10/10 experience. Thank you Captain Josh!

Hats off to Captain Josh for a wonderful first deep sea fishing experience for our family. My only advice is to plan your trip for early in the week in case of inclement weather as Captain Josh elected to reschedule our trip rather than risk getting caught in a thunderstorm. Even as beginners, we were able to catch some beautiful fish. We will be repeat customers for sure.
